We live in a nice suburban development in Weatherford, Texas, but the overall area is still largely semi-rural. Only a half mile from our home is an older road with homes on large tracts of land, and many of the residents have a few head of cattle.
On the corner, there is a lovely little hill with a big tree offering plenty of shade. While out walking a couple of days ago, we found that a beautiful longhorn cow, her calf, and a couple of cousins were relaxing in the shade. As soon as we came close to the fence, the mama stood up and got between us and her calf.
Today we went back, camera in hand, and they were still there. And again, the mama got right up to keep things under control.
Here's mama and her calf - beautiful matching coloration:
Here's the whole group:
